.... the recent Tory leadership contest happened today, then we would have had Penny Mordaunt instead of Liz Truss or Rishy Sunak as PM.

At both QE's funeral and the coronation she showed the qualities that all leaders should aspire to.

Obviously being able to wield a sword efficiently is a sign of leadership, thus she could cut out the deadwood and some of the opposition. 😁

I agree, I'd like all leadership contenders to have "can look solemn and carry a big sword" on their CV. Vital skill in this modern age. Anyway Liz Truss didn't need a sword, she managed to slice the economy to ribbons using just the thoroughly blunt instrument of her mind.

And I was definitely reminded of the Monty Python scene...

Mock if you so desire but regardless, the Penny is mightier than the sword.
